Boiled Eggs
Hey
So, this isn’t the kind of thing I might normally put up here, but I figured it needed some traffic
We get eggs delivered every other week from the farm that delivers our milk (go go gadget local! fresh! natural!). We figured 12 eggs every 2 weeks works out. Pumpkin bread takes 3 eggs, omelet night takes 5 (4 for the omelets and 1 for the pancake or waffle batter). So that gives us 2 omelet nights and a round of bread every two weeks. Which works out fine, since the bread makes two loaves and thus lasts two weeks.
Except I quit making the bread because of the insane calorie count 
And we’re not doing omelets every week. So when we got eggs 10 days ago, we had a bunch left still. We’re down to 16 now, but we get another dozen this thursday
So this afternoon I decided to try making boiled eggs. I like hard boiled eggs, and I think they’d make a decent snack for me (high in protein, healthy, etc), but I’ve never actually made boiled eggs before. Growing up, my mom would make them because they had the risk of breaking while you cooked them and such, so she figured it was easier to just do it. Since then, I’ve just bought a boiled egg at the cafeteria a few times when I wanted one.
So Kiir went to look up how to boil eggs when I asked her. I mean, duh, “boil water, add egg”. But I remember something about the sudden temperature change breaking the egg. but I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to leave the eggs in the water while I started it boiling or what.
Directions she found said: put eggs in water, bring to boil. Cover, remove from heat, 15min. Run cold water until eggs are cool to touch.
I don’t think thats how my mom did it, but yaknow? The egg I tried (it slipped when I was dodging the baby, so I figured I’d just eat it) tasted good, so I’m happy
